3) GPx (glutathione (GSH) peroxidase)
22
Q
Do obligate anaerobes have the same 3 enzymes that obligate aerobes have?
A
Obligate anaerobes do NOT have these 3 enzymes (Oxygen is a poison, make H2O2–> water and **O2 (Bubbles!!!); peroxisome houses these 3 enzymes
23
Q
What happens when you pour H2O2 on a cut?
A
Hydrogen peroxide is converted to oxygen because obligate aerobes carry three enzymes that can perform this mechanism: catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH). GSH and catalase are mainly responsible for oxygen production, in which this is toxic to the obligate anaerobes that can cause infection.
24
Q
psychosomatic def?
A
mental factor such as internal conflict or stress
25
Glutathione; GPX
Glutathione (GSH) is the most ubiquitous tripeptide in higher invertebrates
Contains the AA glutamate, cysteine, and glycine
Protects cells by neutralizing reactive oxygen species via reduction of the thiol side chain.
GPx = glutathione peroxidase
26
Two layers of the Dermis?
1. papillary layer
2. Reticular layer
27
Stratum corneum
provides structural strength due to keratin within cells, prevents water loss due to lipids surrounding cells
28
Phagocytosis
Cell eating
29
What is a main role adipocytes play in the body?
Insulation
30
How does Melanin get into the skin?
Melanocytes makes melanin, Keratinocyte phagocytosis by eating the melanosome but melanin stays

42
How does a Immunosuppressant help with skin grafts?
used that way “skin graft” is not “tagged as foreign”
-There is no MHC match between the patient and the donor so skin graft may be rejected
43
MHC purpose?
(Major Histocompatibility Complex)
-us recognizing our own cells and tissue as self/our own
44
Debridement procedure
-when a doctor removes dead tissue from a wound
-they do this to help a wound heal
-dead tissue can give bacteria a place to grow → infection
45
What is the connection to EGF, a wound and a scar?
EGF stimulates collagen production but can’t heal wounds
A scar forms around a wound and macrophages signal fibroblast activity which also adds collagen and other elements of the ECM to help heal the Wound
EGF is released when tissue is damaged; EGF shows up and mitotic activity goes up, able to repair most injuries
46
Stress and Cortisol levels (made where?) Immune system function, incidence of sickness?
When stressed cortisol levels go up, immune system function goes down
Body cannot fight off virus as easily and is therefore susceptible to sickness
Cortisol is a hormone from the adrenal Cortex
Stress hormone is only good for short periods of time
-Cortisol levels stay high for a long period of time (stress our)= weakens immune systems= greater likely good of getting sick

To eliminate the initial cause of cell injury / clear out necrotic cell and tissues damaged from original insult and initiate tissue repair
Yes, “defenses are good, right up until they are NOT good”
130
If I scratch my arm with a key in a linear manner the initial color of the line is? Then it becomes what color? Why?
white to red
The line is whitish or pale immediately after the scratch. This is because the pressure from the key temporarily displaces blood from the capillaries, reducing blood flow and causing a blanching effect.
Reactive hyperemia, where blood rushes back into the area as part of the body's inflammatory response. Histamine is released by cells, causing vasodilation and increased blood flow to the area, resulting in the red appearance.
131

141
3 MAJOR organs or structures involved in Ca++ level in the blood? Does the brain want blood calcium levels higher or lower--hormones involved
-Bone
Bones act as a reservoir for calcium. When blood calcium levels are low, calcium can be released from bones through a process called bone resorption.
-GI tract
The intestines absorb calcium from the diet, allowing it to enter the bloodstream
-Kidney
The kidneys regulate calcium levels by controlling how much calcium is reabsorbed into the blood or excreted in urine.
142
Histamine….When?
Histamine is stored in granules in Mast cells, but can be released when the mast cell comes in contact with an allergen.
143
Allergies…types! Casual vs life-threatening
Seasonal and severe allergies, though there can be non-seasonal allergies that are not severe
Casual: a mild reaction; symptoms include runny nose, coughing, or itchy eyes
Life-threatening: anaphylaxis
144
Allergic reactions – small vs LARGE (life threatening?)
-A cascade of reactions leads to a release of histamine, which causes allergy symptoms
-These symptoms are usually confined to one area of your body.
-If the Immune reaction is severe, it causes anaphylaxis.
-Anaphylactic shock is life-threatening
145
Allergen?
a substance that produces an allergic reaction in an individual
146
Histamine receptors?

Characteristic of inflammation and allergy
-H2-Located in stomach and eyes
Stimulation results in secretion of hydrochloric acid
-H3-are involved in central nervous system functioning and feedback control of histamine synthesis and release.
H4-located in peripheral WBCs and mast cells
involved in immune responses
147
Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and inhibitors!

-Cox 1 & 2 Inhibitor - Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) [NSAID]
Acetylates serine (Ex: SER530) SER = Serine; 530 = AA #
151
Baroreceptors….. vasodilation….what happens to blood pressure?
.
Baroreceptors detect a change in blood pressure (too low or too high) and then mediate the appropriate response. If blood pressure is too high, vasodilation occurs and blood pressure will decrease due to blood vessels expanding
152
Adrenaline….from where in the body. Physiological relevance with an EpiPen…and histamine levels during allergic reaction!
Adrenaline comes from the adrenal medulla; causes vasoconstriction and bronchodilation, raising O2 levels and blood pressure; inhibits further release of histamine.
153
NSAIDs
…..Tylenol…..Benadryl……Heartburn medications
NSAIDs: Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Tylenol: Acetaminophen; Not an NSAID
Benadryl: Diphenhydramine; Not an NSAID

154
Deodorant vs antiperspirant…back to apocrine sweat glands….oil….bacteria
produce what?
Antiperspirants: Inhibit apocrine sweat glands, decreasing the amount of sweat & oil excreted
Deodorant: Neutralize thiol alcohols which produce stink (masks odor)
155
What is anaphylaxis? Shock?
Anaphylaxis, also known as anaphylactic shock or allergic shock, is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur suddenly and affect the entire body
156
Vasoconstriction vs Vasodilation
